(2/10) “Recognize that learning and education is a lifelong endeavor. While in college, develop the discipline and technique of ‘how to learn.’”
(3/10) “Now is the ideal time to learn how to live in our divergent society – how to make friends – how to respect others – how to avoid being overly judgmental and supercritical and how to understand and respect people who may not necessarily act the way you do.”
(4/10) “Try to accept the fact that you are fortunate to be born with some exceptional talents, and because of that you have the responsibility to make the best possible use of these talents.”
(5/10) “Don’t be afraid to take risks. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, but learn from such experiences in order to avoid repetition.”
(6/10) “Have faith in yourself and in your judgment. Always remember that the most important person you must satisfy and be loyal to is yourself.”
(7/10) “Don’t give up too easily, regardless of the difficulty involved. It’s that last bit of determination that will often seal the deal."
(8/10) “If you try hard enough you will find the right answer.”
(9/10) “Stanford has been so fortunate to be able to attract so many brilliant people who have made and who are making a valuable contribution to society.”
(10/10) “I extend to you my best wishes to follow in their footsteps and through your contributions make Stanford proud of you.” - George A Jedenoff, '40, MBA '42 #WelcomeToStanford
